It helps to understand where he first fits in the story, “Within the last few months it became increasingly plain to me that Sir Charles’s nervous system was strained to the breaking point. He had taken this legend which I have read you exceedingly to heart--so much so that, although he would walk the grounds, nothing would induce him to go out upon the moor at night. Pg. 23 This statement is important to the story because it adds that believable element to his story. He was so terrified he never would’ve ventured near, which makes the ”official” story harder to swallow, and therefore the mystery more intriguing.
Poverty can easily become a malicious finger- pointing circle, and Angela participates in this “game.” She constantly nags Malachy of his alcoholism and his northern accent and odd manner. Frank’s father keeps his family in the cycle of poverty. Frank eventually breaks through this pattern to achieve his dream of “freedom.” Leaving his father behind with his addiction.

Katie Rizzolo Mrs. Love English 10 HNS April 23, 2014 1984 Literary Criticism: The Historical Lens Throughout history, literature has sprung from the ashes of major events. Following World War I, All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque was just the first of many works inspired by the events that occurred. The same was true about World War II and the events that surrounded it, particularly relating to totalitarianism. In 1984, George Orwell creates a society similar to certain elements of totalitarian governments in the twentieth century such as their leaders and opposition, and their control tactics; in doing so he shows his fear of what could happen if such governments had succeeded. One of the first ideas that becomes very clear when reading 1984 is the controlling government that easily resembles a totalitarian style society similar to those in the mid-twentieth century.

Albert Camus is a ordinary man, who, without any real compelling reason, commits a murder, and his apparently insensitive reaction to it.
MRS. THOMPSON PRE.AP ENGLISH 10-3 APRIL 10TH 2014 “The Ministers Black Veil” Thesis: Paul Zweig’s analysis about Edgar Allen Poe’s work can apply to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s work as well because they both wrote gothic literature that addressed America’s dread of personal failure in the 1800’s. “The Minister’s Black Veil’ shows a fear of personal failure and unhappiness in relationships. Mr. Hooper a gentlemanly friendly man about thirty, though still a bachelor, was dressed with due clerical neatness, as if a careful wife had starched his band, and brushed the weekly dust from his Sunday’s garb (Hawthorne 472). The town’s people looked to be confused that the person “Mr. Hooper” was wearing a black veil.
Wendell Berry’s Jayber Crow, was probably my favorite. His essay resonates how I have lead my life or as Berry says how, I have been led (Berry 133). After these weeks reading, we’ve been asked to write about one experience that has changed our life and there is one experience that changed my life forever, it’s called becoming a mother. Not to discredit my husband in any way, he is a humongous part of my life. He is the father of my children, he is my partner in crime fighting, and he is the person who keeps me level headed.
